The first full week of November brings a winter weather slam down on Western Washington with high winds knocking out power, and snow causing tough driving conditions.
Puget Sound Energy power outage maps reported more than 32,000 families were without power."It’s the Whatcom, Skagit, Island, Pierce and Thurston counties that we’re seeing a good amount of those outages in," said PSE spokesperson Gerald Tracy.Tracy told FOX 13 Seattle crews are working nonstop to get everyone’s lights back on."Our crews have been working since early this morning," said Tracy.
Plow trucks were already driving up and down the road, and officials with WSDOT say they are hoping to bring on more drivers this season to prepare for what the winter brings."We’re in need of some positions to fill within the Snoqualmie pass area," said Meagan Lott with WSDOT.While winter weather creates headaches for some, for others, it's memorable — like for Lucy Muthoni, who is visiting from Kenya to see her son."I’m 65, and I’ve never seen snow in my life.
